Pueblo Precision Field Rifle Match

Starting January 2015 Pueblo West Sportsmans Assn and Pikes Peak Practical Shooters will host the Precision Field Rifle Match. 8:30 start time and a 12:00 start time. $10 per entry. 3rd Saturday, year round.

You will be able to verify your zero from 8:00-8:20 and again from 11:30-12:00.

Pueblo West Sportsmans Assn
600 East Loma Drive
Pueblo West CO 81007

20 shooter max for the 8:30 match and 25 shooter max for the noon match. If you do not sign up ahead of time you do not get to shoot. To get signed up, go to practiscore and look for Hosers Steel under the clubs tab or click on the link below. You don't pay when you sign up, you pay at the match.

Start position for all strings will be bolt closed for most strings, however the start position could vary. When the buzzer goes off shooter will engage all five targets. Hit or miss the shooter will advance to the next target. Like the prairie dog matches of days gone by, only hits count. There is no penalty for misses. Shooting late or not shooting will result in a penalty. Targets will be shot in order, large to small except on the prone string where you start on the small target. This will make things easier on the Range Officer and Spotter. If a target is shot out of order there will be no penalty, however only the first attempt on a target is scored.

Each string is 5 shots that will be shot twice for a total of 10 shots per position. Total round count is 40.

Shooting sticks may have one, two or three points of contact and saddles may be used. You may not be any lower than sitting.

While shooting off a pack, no part of the rifle may touch the ground.

While shooting prone, a bi-pod or tri-pod may be used.

The "Position of the month" details will be given at the range on match day and will vary from month to month.

If you can not comply with a shooting positions criteria, you can shoot it however you want but hits will only be worth half (5 vs 10 points) value.

There is no minimum age limit. It is up to you as the parent to decide what is too young.

Slings will not be required, but could be very helpful.

Distance for all targets will be 300 yards. Approx target shapes and sizes will be
10 inch round or diamond
8 inch round or diamond
6 inch round or diamond
4 inch round or diamond
3x5 or some other wickedly ugly target

Dinosdeuce are I are the match directors. Hit us up with any questions you might have.

The more they tried to make it just like home, the more they made everybody miss it.

This will be a great match to shoot other then on your belly. There are plenty of those around. I am really looking forward to being able to shoot different positions on the clock. PWSA has gone through a lot of trouble to keep the range one of the best shooting facilities you have the privilege to squeeze a trigger at a target. Hoser is just keeping us shooting. Thanks dude!!!!

One of the cool things about yesterday was two of my friends that are somewhat new to this type of shooting, showing up and kicking butt.

Jon shot my Accuracy International AW in 308 and kicked butt. He had never shot off sticks before much less with a borrowed gun at a 3x5 inch target at 300 yards. He just grabbed my old school sticks and started hammering away.

Sarah MFB came down from the Olympic Training Center and shot my LaRue OBR in 6 Grendel that forum member AKA-Spook built for me. She would finish the day with the second highest score despite a pink Magpul MOE grip.

Another cool thing was seeing all my friends that I had not seen in a few months since we hung up the Prairie Dog matches.

See you next month.

The more they tried to make it just like home, the more they made everybody miss it.
